Design/methodology/approach - The methodology used in diversification processes comprises four stages: Evaluation of the technological diversification suitability; selection of the technological diversification strategy; implementation of the diversification strategy; and evaluation of the process. Findings - The main contributions of the paper are: The proposal of a taxonomy or functional inventory for information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the freight transport industry (FTI); the introduction of a new concept, the technological shrub, a variant of the technological tree that allows interdependencies between the functionality systems; the construction of a technological shrub for ICTs in a standard FTI firm; and the multicriteria selection, based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), of the best diversification strategy that can be incorporated by this standard firm for improving competitiveness. This selection utilises a "bottom-up" approach. Originality/value - The paper deals with the long-Term sustainability of companies by means of technological diversification strategies. Based on the taxonomy constructed for ICTs in the SSC sector and the identification of key technologies for a particular firm, a technological shrub is constructed and a multicriteria procedure is developed in order to select the best diversification strategy. 000129597 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/ECO2015-66673-R 000129597 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 000129597 590__ $$a2.948$$b2017 000129597 591__ $$aENGINEERING, INDUSTRIAL$$b11 / 46 = 0.239$$c2017$$dQ1$$eT1 000129597 591__ $$aCOMPUTER SCIENCE, INTERDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS$$b26 / 105 = 0.248$$c2017$$dQ1$$eT1 000129597 592__ $$a0.904$$b2017 000129597 593__ $$aComputer Science Applications$$c2017$$dQ1 000129597 593__ $$aIndustrial and Manufacturing Engineering$$c2017$$dQ1 000129597 593__ $$aStrategy and Management$$c2017$$dQ1 000129597 593__ $$aManagement Information Systems$$c2017$$dQ1 000129597 593__ $$aIndustrial Relations$$c2017$$dQ1 000129597 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000129597 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-5857-8003$$aLarrodé, E.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000129597 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-5037-6976$$aMoreno-Jiménez, J.M.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000129597 7102_ $$15004$$2530$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
